Tamiya Firedragon

[topher2009]

Dont tell the wife! OK, so the first "decent" radio control car I had was a firedragon, just for bashing around the garden it was great, I was about 10 at the time. I remember taking out the rear drive shafts so that it was front wheel drive "because front wheel drive cars were better in snow" and thrashing it in snow in the garden!

This car has many memories so I have bought one in kit form. I am going to build it as soon as it arrives and use it for fun! I have ordered a ball race set for it but my question is about motors and more specifically how much grief can the drive train take?

My options are brushed with a modified motor - 15 triple or brushless with a 10.5 turn. Anyone tried anything hot and done damage to theirs?

Thanks
Chris
